gear

Alot of riding boots have plates in the ankles, and offer alot more support throughout the entire lower leg. They are usually also tighter at the top so they help keep water out better.

Ask REEDracing about getting his ankle run over with a quad while wearing riding boots... Im sure he will swear by them ! !
 
yeah they are so much safer than work boots..... i wear thor 50/50 boots so they are not as tall but there great
 
hah, thor boots arent even bad for stiffness, i had to move my whole leg up to shift with my alpinestars before i got them broken in, ive had my foot go through the plastic heelguard and be run over by the axle, after that, i would never wear anything but MX boots. you dont think theres a difference until your on crutches
 
My Alpinestars seemed to break in alot easier than my other Thor boots... I would never wear anything but A-stars anymore... Very comfortable.
 
my thors were amazingly easy to walk/run and ride in the day i got the.......
i have owned alpinestars before and hated them....ill only ride thor
 
man i love my a-stars, my thor boots always came unbuckled and i ended up with a torn achilles tendon becuse of it
